Strings (Donna Beneviento x female reader)

Escape Room Pt. 1

You wake up, this time in a different room. You are no longer tied to a chair, and your throat aches. You notice a letter taped to the wall.

It reads:
"If you can escape this room before the day ends, I may keep you around longer. Good luck."

What kind of sick joke is this? You wonder. Donna is tormenting you-- making you play games to maybe live longer.

You look around the room some more, and notice a clock on the wall. It is 6pm, and you have until midnight to escape the room you are trapped in. You walk to a desk in the center of the room.

There is what appears to be a map of the room on the desk, with a pen and a locket next to it. The drawers are locked.

You decide to open the locket first. You are shocked to find a picture of yourself inside. It's not just you, though, it is you and your girlfriend. The girlfriend you left at home while you traveled, assuming you'd be back in a week. It had now been 6 days, and you are trapped in a hell scape you never would have imagined.

You are reminded of how you ended up here in the first place-- you were traveling for work, when your car suddenly broke down outside of a small, almost desolate town. Your only option was to go and find help from whoever may remain, but you instead ended up in this situation. Your heart aches at the idea of never seeing your girlfriend again.

You snap yourself back to reality, and go back to the task at hand. You take the picture out of the locket, and check the back of it to see if something is written on it. You see the words find her written on the back... did your girlfriend somehow get brought here? You panic for a moment, then remember you only have so much time.

You begin searching other parts of the room. When you open a cabinet on the wall, you find a doll of your girlfriend. This is what the words meant-- hopefully your girlfriend is still safe at home. Though, you also begin to wonder how that picture ended up in Donna's hands.

You search the doll, and find a small cutout with a key inside of it. You use the key to try and unlock the drawers on the desk, and it works on one of them. Inside of the desk, you find a small box, though you don't know how to open it; it appears to be a puzzle of sorts.

You look back at the clock-- it is now about 6:40pm. You begin working at the puzzle, and by the time you finally crack it, it is 8pm. Inside of the box is another key, and a note with nothing but l and 3 written on it. You place the letter on the desk.

You begin trying to open the other drawers with the second key. When it finally works, you find another puzzle. This one if different, but you begin working at it again. You know that you must be quick so that you do not run out of time. It is currently 8:13pm.
